Went to the show at the Cow Palace on Saturday, picked up some ammo and left. Most of the vendors are gouging and playing into the consumer's fear. The one held in Sacramento was more spacious and has shorter lines for ammo. With that said, the only thing positive about the SF show is that it is close by and you can get almost everything you need under one roof.

How are the hand gun selections and pricing? Msrp, Msrp+ or actual savings when factoring in the entrance and parking fees? Thanks!

I noticed Elite Armory from Castro Valley had a table with a decent selection of handguns and off the top of my head, I would say the prices are about MSRP or with a slight markup. This based on observing their HK USP .45 Compact retailing for about $1088 (not sure if it had NiteSights) and Beretta 92FS for about $700. The rest of the dealers like Templer had tables that was more for Q&As.

Just to give you an idea on the gouging, earlier this week, I purchases a few boxes of PMC 9mm at TargetMaster in Milpitas for $16.50/box. The same product at the Cow Palace via Wolf Ammo went for $21. I ended up getting the Winchester 9mm NATO and regular.
